Hi all,

I have what appears to be a very odd problem.

Today dmesg started reporting a bunch of :

ata1.00: status: { DRDY ERR }
ata1.00: error: { UNC }
ata1.00: configured for UDMA/133
ata1: EH complete
SCSI device sda: 1465149168 512-byte hdwr sectors (750156 MB)

ata1: EH complete

sda: Write Protect is off
sda: Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00
SCSI device sda: drive cache: write back

etc.

Load goes to 40 to 60 and all IO is very, very slow.

I assumed perhaps a drive was going bad. However I've discovered that if a particular VE is shutdown the errors stop and load goes back down to 0 or so.

I next assumed it must be that this particular VE uses the damaged part of the disk, etc. and that when the VE is on that part is accessed more etc. causing the error.

However this is not the case. I can access that part of the disk (a did a copy of /vz/private/problem-ve-number to another dir and load did not rise abnormally and dmesg did not report any errors.

Any ideas what could be going on? What could that particular VE be doing that is causing this? I'm at a loss!

Thanks.

Update: isolated this to the VE's httpd process. If httpd runs, the errors (in host node logs) occur and disk grinds to a halt. I can't find anything too odd in the clients config. Not sure how their httpd could kill the whole nodes performance.

Thoughts? Things to check?
